Corvette==Vietnam patch
I am interested in purchasing the Vietnam/Corvette patch that I recently read about on the forum. It is a great idea for those of us who served in that campaign and own corvettes. If anyone knows a web site where I can contact the manufacture of these I would greatly appreciate it, thanks so much.

Maybe your state has a VN vet license plate. When I moved out here from VA I had to plate the vehicles in CA, and at the DMV they asked me if I wanted a veteran's plate (can't remember if it was VN-specific). I thought that was a nice gesture, until I learned that it would cost me $10 EXTRA.
The thanks of a grateful nation.....I was touched. But not $10 worth.

I like the patch idea. It may bring us together just a little bit. And help us remember those who gave everything over there.

Saw a couple of mustangs while there too. Probably owned by PA&E honchos.
I was stationed at Long Binh at USARV Hqs (great duty). There was a transportation company there that drove Chevy sedans for the big wigs. Many of them were 65/66 Chevy Impala 4 doors that the drivers had hopped up during their tours. Most were 283s with 3 speed stick shifts. Their OD paint jobs were very shiny with many of them sporting Hurst floor shifts, chrome wheels, chrome valve covers along with aftermarket intakes and Holley 4bbl carbs. They all seemed to ba air conditioned. Long Binh was a huge base and the drivers liked to brag about taking some of the WACs out for a little recreational lovemaking in some of the lesser travelled areas!
